A Transition shed has been shortlisted for the coveted #shedoftheyear award!
Built by volunteers over several months, with mostly reclaimed materials, it sits in the lush oasis of Transition Cambridgeβs Empty Common Community Garden close to the centre of the city.
It's a place of peace for the volunteer gardeners and for local groups working towards a fairer, resilient and thriving community to use.
They call it the Head, Heart and Hands shed β amazing how just a few square metres of space can help bring people together and support local change...
Transition Together seed funding from the The National Lottery Community Fund helped to get the shed up and running. Itβs got our vote β what about you?! https://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?shareshed=8284
